Congratulations to Grant High School's We the People Team!
For the fourth year in a row, an Oregon high school team has taken home the national We The
People title.
On Monday evening, April 27th, in a crowded auditorium in Fairfax, Virginia, Portland's Grant
High School beat fifty-six teams from across the country to place first in the nation. This makes Oregon
the state with the most national titles in the competition's twenty-eight year history. Lincoln High
School won the national title in 2014.
The final round of competition and victory announcement came on the birthday of the school's
namesake, General Ulysses S. Grant.

2. NAEP 2014 Grade 8 Social Studies Results Released
Long Term Progress in U.S. History and Civics, Not in Geography
The NAEP 2014 social studies results in civics, geography, and U.S. history were
recently released. Nationally representative samples of 8th graders participated in the NAEP
social studies assessments. You can view the full reports on these assessments on the Nation’s
Report Card website.
Narrowing Gaps Between White Students and both Black and Hispanic Students
The social studies results reveal narrowing score gaps between White students and both
Black and Hispanic students in Geography, as well as between White students and Hispanic
students in Civics. Improvements in the scores of lower performing students, such as students at
the 10th and 25th percentiles, have driven the gap narrowing. However, the male — female score
gap in U.S. History has increased since 1994. You can explore the score gaps and percentile
scores online.
Social studies instruction is changing. Since 2010, a smaller percentage of students
reported reading from a textbook at least weekly, while a larger percentage of students reported
using computers for social studies at least weekly. See more information about social studies
classroom practices online.

Registration Open! SUMMER INSTITUTE
Summer Institute for Teachers
Schools are important sites for preparing young people to engage in democratic life, and
teaching young people about the political issues of the day is one important part of that
preparation. Unfortunately, for the past two decades the political climate in the United States has
become increasingly divisive and polarized, making some teachers and administrators worry that
including political discussion in the curriculum might be too controversial for students to handle.
Yet, research shows that when teachers are able to create a classroom climate that invites an
open exchange of ideas while at the same time structuring discussions so that students develop
the knowledge and skills to discuss productively, students become more engaged in the
classroom, more interested in politics, and more willing to listen to competing points of views.
This institute will draw upon this research to help teachers improve their skills teaching about
politics and facilitating classroom discussions about controversial political issues.
Who: Upper Elementary, Middle and High School Teachers
Where: Central Oregon Community College; Bend, OR
When: June 23-26, 2015

13. Economic Integration in Ancient Egypt’s Old Kingdom: Evidence from Ceramic
Manufacture
A Lecture by Dr Sarah L Sterling, Assist. Professor, Anthropology Department, Portland State University
Sponsored by the American Research Center in Equpt and The Archaeological Institute of America,
Portland Society
Egypt’s Old Kingdom (ca 2600-2100 BCE) has been characterized as a “centralized” society
wherein the population is highly economically integrated. As more materials and labor were required to
build the cemeteries of the Old Kingdom, pottery vessels played a role in tasks ranging from copper
smelting to baking. Therefore, the “mass-production” of vessels and --by extension-- the emergence of
pottery specialists is to some extent a function of the economics of monumental constructions. Dr
Sterling will discuss the relationship between ceramic similarity and community interaction during the Old
Kingdom in ancient Egypt.
 PSU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Rm 190 – 631 SW Harrison St
 FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015 at 7:30 pm
 Free & Open to the public/Park Free in PSU parking structures after 7:00 pm
Sarah L. Sterling is a Past President of the Oregon Chapter of ARCE as well as a current board
member. Her research interests and publications have focused on the relationship between pyramid
construction and environmental change, Old Kingdom ceramics, and the development of taxation during
the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods. Her fieldwork in Egypt includes projects at Giza, Memphis
and Mendes. She received her PhD from the University of Washington.
This Lecture is jointly presented by ARCE Oregon and AIA Portland, in cooperation with the PSU
Middle East Studies Center and the PSU Department of History.

sources and how to help students work with the sources once they find them.

veteran NHD teacher serves as a mentor to each section and teachers develop and refine the
materials that they need to implement this framework in their classroom the very next day.
